NON-REFlLLABLE BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July l2, 1905. Serial No. 269,291.

To all 'wh/rmJ it 'may conce/rit:

Be it known that i, JAMES E. DUFFY, citizen orl the United States, Philadelphia, in the county ol and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in N on-Reiillable Bottles, et which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in nonreiillable bottles, of which the vfollowing is a full, clear, and exact description:

This .invention relates more particularly to that class of bottles in which a valve is provided in the neck of the bottle, with suitable means for guarding and preventing the picking thereof by unauthorized persons for the purposes of rclilling, and means permitting the primary filling by the proper parties.

Reference will be had to the acconipanying drawing forming a part ot' this specilication in which like numerals of' reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, in which:

Figure l is a vertical section, Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken on the line X-X thereof, Fig; 3 is a top plan view, and Fig. elis a detailed View in vertical section of the filling-tube closure.

Reference numeral 1 designates the body portion of the bottle, formed interiorly with an integral vertically extending tubular portion 2, which extends to a point in close proximityT to the bottle bottom 3, but leaving' a space therebetween to permit the liquid which is inserted into said portion 2 to enter the body portion of the bottle. The upper part of this tubular portion is formed with a flange 4f and with interiorly and downwardly projecting spurs 5 formed integrally with and of the same material as the body portion. Into this tubular portion is inserted a cork 6 of considerable length, being provided with the trade mark of the firm ot' whose goods are contained in the bottle, which trade mark shows through the said tubular portion. A seal 7 is placed upon the flange it of the said tubular portion after the said stepper has been inserted, and completelycovers the opening and stopper of the said tubular portion. Owing to the said spurs 5 proj ectresiding at Philadelphia ling downwardly, mutilation olY the a l (iwillbea'llected upon any attempt to remove the said stopper.

The bottle neck S is Yformed with a downwardly tapering opening $1 formed in its lower portion with a scat 10'1`or thercception e1' a ball valve 11. Above this valve in the wall o'l' the neck opening is Ytermed an annular groove 12 within which is seated a` periorated disk 13, being provided with an upwardly projecting stem 111; which passes through and supports an imperl'orate disk l5, the circumierenlial edge o1' which is spared vfrom the interior wall ol the bottle neck. The upper portion ol' the bottle ncck is formed with an annular enlarged portion 1G forming an interior groove within which the said disk 15 is arranged. From the portion le the upper porticn ol the neck tapers inwardly and is vlcrmed with an integral perforated top 17 into which is inserted tlu` upper end oll said stem 141-, and said perl'oratcd top 17 is formed with a projecting peripheral bead or [lange 1S over which is clamped the usual crown-seal 1f), the cork portion 20 of which covers the perl'orations of the said top Y1.7.

To lill this bottle the material .is intreduced through the tubular portion 2, al'ter which the stopper is inserted and the seal 7 allixcd. rlo remove thc contents l'rom the bottle the crown-seal 1) is removed and the bottle inverted; the liquid thereupon forces the valve l1 Vfrom its seat, passes through the periorations el the disk 125, then around the disk 15 and out through the perl'orations ol the top 17.

lt will readily be seen that it is impossible to pick the valve as a wire could not be. introduced around disk 15 and thence to the valve especially in view ol' `the bead 21. formed in the neck beneath the disk 15. I

Ot course, l do not wish to limit mysel'lf to the details elE construction herein set up as various changes may be made without departing from the spirit oil the invention.

Having fully described this invention what is claimed to be new and usci'ul, and desired to be secured by .Letters Patent, is:

l. A bottle i'ormed in its side with a lilling tube, substantially as described stopper IOO 2.
